Chicago, III, Sept. . Chur. h fairs are
not uncommon things in Kiars'on, but the
membe-s of a certain congregation are par
ticularly interested In a piece of handiwork
that is to bo rafllcd for the beneiit of that
thtirch with which they are connected.
Of course, this article is no ordinary sofa
cushion, or dolly, or beribboned something
that no man-ard often no wonvin can
guess the purpose of without c-eral trials.
.t. Matthew's Church Is one of the piin
tipal places of worship In Evanston. and it
Is in this church that a bnnquet.ng cloth,
embroidered In American beauty rose, that
is ,i masterpiece in linen and silk, will b
shown The cloth is th work of J. S. Clark.
Ard there the secret of the interest taken
in this piece of work Is out! It was a man
who worked In those beautiful roses, and a
prominent artist at that.
Up to ten years ago Mr. Clark painted tho
most perfect of flowers on cam as. but then
a stroke of p-iraljsls left his right hand so
disabled that he could not handle the bruh
as skilifiiliv as formerly. In a. moment of
longing tn'bhadc and blend colors the uie.i
came to him to work out hit creations in
Mik. Acting upon tha inspiration of the
, moment he picked up a pice "f his wifi -i
fancy w-oik. upon which there wa.s a i.e.-lgn
of Caiiforria poppies. He shaded the pctaU
With all the skill of an artist, and the re
Ut was most satisfactory. After this ho
tcok up other pieces of embroidery and ic
sTted the most elaborate patterns.
1-ast winter when the memlers or ht.
Matthew's guild were casting about for come
ay out of tho ordinary to raiso a fund for
too chcrcb, Jlr. Clark suggested tha raftlinc
befill her if she mied theell. and it ha'd
alv.ajs seemed that It would Ik1 the former
until the poor Kirl's mind suddml ffiic
way u-Klor whattvr strain there wa.s up
on it.

Sometimes Air. Clark wanders Into tho
forest that is near his home, earning his
embroidery work in a large gray satchel.
Kspeclaiij docs he flee to tho s-eclusion of
the woods if there Is the slightest clmice of
an admiring lsitor. for he dlslikei praise
for his work or questions concerning him
self. M- Clark often has refused to sell his
worl; lit Indignantly declines all offers for
embroidery that Is worth the price of a

broiders only as a pastime, and rinds much
pleasure in git Ing awa the pieces when

The completion of the banqueting cloth is
impatiently awaited. The last rose will lie
worked in this week, and then the cloth will
be put on exhibition. Two hundred tickets
